1960 Series II Land Rover Restoration
Purchased in October 2023, this 1960 (Car/Chassis# 153001027) ex-Army Land Rover had served in Vietnam, ended up in Sydney, worked on a farm and then came to rest in Dalby, QLD where she sat in a field for over 10 Years. Her Army record shows ARN 111-387 as a "Truck, Flatbed, 3/4 Ton, GS, Radar Set AN/KPQ1, No 2 Loading" and she left the army on 6th Dec 1983 and ended up in NSW. The army record shows engine number 151018512, which was the 2l Land Rover engine, however when purchased she had a Holden 202 v6, which was a common change after the army days. After some tinkering, the engine started and ran for a while and then seized with a loud crunch. Parts for a new (old) Land Rover 2.25l engine were sourced from the Sunshine coast and $700 later, I had an engine (sort of).
